A contact plate intended to be brought into contact with the wall of an electrode of an electro-metallurgical furnace, comprising an internal channel having an inlet and at least one outlet which can be linked respectively to an external supply conduit and at least one external discharge conduit for a fluid. According to the invention, at least one elongate hole (16) is provided, inside which an elongate partition (35) is installed that has opposing elongate edges (39) adjacent to opposing elongate areas (33) of the elongate hole so as to define, in said hole, elongate spaces (16a-16b) to either side of the elongate partition, the elongate partition defining a communication passage (41) between said elongate spaces and connecting holes (29) communicating with said elongate spaces being provided at a distance from said communication passage, said elongate spaces forming portions of said internal channel (59).
A contact plate intended to be placed in contact with the wall of an electrode of an electro-metallurgical furnace, comprising at least one internal channel having at least one inlet and at least one outlet likely to be respectively linked to at least one external fluid intake duct and to at least one external duct for discharging this fluid,
The plate as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, in which said connecting passage is formed between an end of the elongate partition and an end of said elongate hole.
The plate as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, in which an end of said elongate partition opposite to its end defining said connecting passage is carried by a blocking element fitted into said elongate hole.
The plate as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, in which said elongate hole extends from top to bottom and has a blind bottom end, the bottom end of said elongate partition defining a connecting passage formed in the vicinity of this blind end, the top end of the elongate partition being borne by a blocking element fitted into a top part of said elongate hole situated above said link holes.
The plate as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, in which said hole and said partition have opposing elongate ribs and opposing elongate grooves, which are fitted into one another.
A method for manufacturing a vertical plate having inner and outer faces, top and bottom faces and circumferential end side faces, characterized in that it consists:
